Cheery ‘Cranksy’ creation puts spring in the step of Netherfield residents

The latest works by a mystery crochet artist in Netherfield have appeared on the town’s high street and are already helping put a spring in the step of local residents.

The new creations have taken over the top of the post box and railings in Victoria Road and replace the mystery artist’s Christmas-themed decoration starring an elf and Grinch.

Spring is the theme of the latest decorations, with a smiling flower as the centrepiece.

The last offering hit the headlines back in December when it went missing, much to the dismay of local residents.

It was eventually recovered after being discarded in the car park at the new Costa drive-in on Victoria Retail Park. It was cleaned by residents and then returned to its place on top of the postbox.

Pam Field, a customer at the nearby Post Office, called the new display ‘uplifting.’

“It’s great and makes you smile as you remember that spring is nearly here,” she said.

“We need it as this winter lockdown has been awful.

“I’m not sure who does these but they have all been lovely. My friend calls who ever is responsible ‘Cranksy’ as they appear out of nowhere!”

The local artist has been likened to Bansky as their work also mysteriously appears overnight.
